Re: [WICG/webcomponents] [declarative-custom-elements] how does the class get associated with the definition (#884)

DCE does not have to use JS and IMO the "pure" DCE would be JS-less. The class would be created by the browser and use the native templating for content rendering. The element life cycle events and callbacks can be assigned either as inline `onxxx` or associated by embedded SCRIPT sections, something like 

`<script type="element/connectedCallback" >...` or 

`<script type="module" >document.currentScript.getRootNode()....`  But it would require to add `currentScript` to ES6 module JS API. As of now it is only in ES5 and there is a struggle to get it approved even for inline scripts.

The `<script type="module">` is optional in this case and would be needed only when there is a need to redefine the constructor. It still would face same issues in acceptance as `currentScript` as has to be tied to insertion location.
